Abstract
A front plane laminate useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays comprises, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, a layer of an electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a release sheet. This front plane laminate can be prepared as a continuous web, cut to size, the release sheet removed and the laminate laminated to a backplane to form a display. Methods for providing conductive vias through the electro-optic medium and for testing the front plane laminate are also described.
Claims7
An electro-optic display comprising:
- a backplane comprising at least one pixel electrode;
- a first and second layer of lamination adhesive;
- a layer of electro-optic material between the first and second layer of lamination adhesive;
- and
- an electrically-conductive layer on an opposing side of the electro-optic layer relative to the backplane,
- wherein at least part of the periphery of the layer of electro-optic material is sealed.
